Some helpful advice about servicing and maintenance of pre 1992 chainsaws.

The very first chainsaw I had anything to so with, was a two man type "Blue streak"... It was very heavy and very clumsy, but a improvement on the Drag saw we had used previously.
The year was 1952... the place; amongst the Murray river red gums out on the Edwards river about 30 miles from Deniliquin NSW Australia.

Much later I bought a new Dolmar CL 2 man chainsaw in 1956; it was a vast improvement over the Bluestreak.

On this page I will post information concerning many chainsaws that were in production prior to 1992.

The above picture is a typical 2 man chain saw of 50 or so years ago.

Below is a pic of a CL Dolmar saw.

Barrios booksales have a manual that could be very handy for anyone servicing chainsaws...below is a description.

A manual that covers the carburettors fitted to many different chainsaw engines prior to 1992.
such as ....Allis-Chalmers,Alpina,Castor,Clinton,Danarm,John Deere, The Green machine,Echo,Frontier,Machine, Homelite,Partner,Pioneer, Pioneer/Partner,Poulan,ProKut,Redmax,Remington,Roper,Sachs-Dolmar,Shindaiwa,Solo, Stihl,Tanaka.

The Carburettors covered are the....Bing...Dell`orto...Tillotson...Walbro...Zama...
Each carburettor section has many models or types... the manual has exploded views of each carby, with tune up, settings and maintenance sections for each
This is a Handy manual for the chainsaw owner. It is only a small book but packed with all the information needed.
Available only as a download

The blackwhite photo is a mcculloch in action about 1970... the other photo shows a very early chainsaw most likely pre ww2.
